The plan was to climb Big Indian, Doubletop, and Fir but on the return from Doubletop it started to pour so I saved Fir for another day. The register for Big Indian was easy to find while the register for Doubletop was not. It was good to get some bush whacking in with a map and compass though.

A beautiful day with the sun shining throughout. About an inch of snow at the trailhead with a few inches above 3500ft. The hike up Fir Mountain was enjoyable, despite the limited summit views. Hiking the ridge, across the Col and up Big Indian was a bit annoying: lots of bushwacking with walls of fir trees to negotiate. Overall, the effort made the entire trip worthwhile. Roughly 11mi round trip.

This bushwack took us first up to Fir Mtn and we then caught the land bridge over to Bid Indian. Next we dropped to the trail and walked over Eagle and then Balsam Mtns before dropping into McKinley Hollow. Not too shabby for a 3500'Club outing.
